You underestimate the number of people suffering from confirmation bias and belief perseverance. Many consider fake news to be the most authoritative source of truth there is.

There will always be the emotional fanatics. However, if a marketing firm did an assessment that was easy to consume on accuracy scorecards on big stories with clear understanding of the games played (entertainment, opinion sprinkled with news), people would wise up. I was a dumb follower once. I become exhausted with the constant let downs and distractions.
